Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for increasing the inner stability of encapsulated and non-encapsulated sodium percarbonate. According to the invention, particulate, dry sodium percarbonate is treated for at least 2 minutes at a temperature of 70 to 120 DEG C and during the treatment, the air surrounding the particles is exchanged, in order to maintain or reduce humidity.
Abstract:
The invention concerns coated sodium percarbonate granules comprising a core produced by fluidised bed spray granulation, containing sodium percarbonate as its main component, an inner coating layer containing an organic, hydrate- forming salt as its main component, and an outer coating layer containing as its main component at least one surfactant containing in the molecule one or more sulfate or sulfonate groups in the form of an alkali metal, alkaline- earth metal or ammonium salt. The invention also concerns a process for the production of the granules, the use of the granules in bleaching and cleanin g agents, and bleaching and cleaning agents containing the granules. The sodiu m percarbonate granules according to the invention display improved storage stability combined with high internal stability and a high active oxygen content.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing granular coated sodium percarbonate with a low TAM value. The sodium percarbonate is produced by fluid bed granulation at a temperature TG in the range of from 45 to 75 DEG C and coating by spraying an aqueous solution that contains at least one coating component in a fluid bed at a temperature TU in the range of from 35 to 100 DEG C. According to the invention, a) after fluid bed granulation but before coating a supplementary drying step is carried out at TNT of greater than TG, or b) fluid bed granulation is carried out in at least two steps at TG1, TG2 TGn, with TG2 or TGn being greater than TG1 and no supplementary drying step being required if 2/3 of the granules have been formed at TG1, or c) supplementary drying is carried out not after granulation but only after coating, namely at TUNT, with TUNT being at least 20 DEG C higher than TG.
